Meh. These random blasts from the past are nice but Carly and Justin should've been way down the pecking order of potential returns. They could barely manage five lines a month for Stephen Nichols yet there's story for Justin?!

SN was clearly in the Tomlin doghouse in his last few months.

I understand what your saying but who should they bring back? Jack and Jennifer have a happy ending. Steve and Kayla are off somewhere happy. J&M are off somewhere, presumably happy despite his condition. Considering what the current regime is trying to do, it may be better just to leave those characters alone and let their fans be at peace with that rather then trying to circle the drain again on stories for most of them. Steve and Kayla are the only ones I see an actual need for, to be honest.

The show is fresh and the canvas needs to remain that way or the show is just going back to square one on every level (including financially). It seems to be in the best interest of the show, especially currently, to make moves like this and continue as is.
